Masset off to a good start - 3 runs

Box

So instead of a big splash, there were ripples -- enough to change the tide, Williams believes

by Brush Back on Mar 27, 2008 2:20 PM CDT   0 recs

Well...

I like Swisher's patience, just letting the count work for him. Then OC ground ball to short, and Jim right back to the pitcher.

Get him on, get him out, get him back in the field.

I'll bring the awesome.

by Hazymania on Mar 27, 2008 2:21 PM CDT   0 recs

Say what you will about Juan's size

But him even getting to that ball was impressive.

The throw not so much though, but it was a tough play.

I'll bring the awesome.

general masset's last stand

looks like he'll fare about as good as custer did.

by larry on Mar 27, 2008 2:24 PM CDT   0 recs

Can Wasserman go as the long guy?

Or is he more of a short reliever?

I'll bring the awesome.

by Hazymania on Mar 27, 2008 2:26 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Does it matter

Masset can get killed for a long time. Wasserman can get guys out.

No no

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'd rather have Masset, I was just wondering if Wasserman was an option as a 2-3 inning guy.

I'll bring the awesome.

by Hazymania on Mar 27, 2008 2:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Also

Masset pitches poorly to both LH and RH hitters, unlike Wasserman who is limited to a ROOGY role.

Wassermann - Lefties

Lefties are around 2 or 3 for 18 or so this spring.

i hear alexei is a long guy

ozzie just asked him if he could pitch, too, and alexei said "intentare." then he went out and mowed down the side with a nasty splitter. is there anything this guy can't do?

by larry on Mar 27, 2008 2:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

hable ingles?

I'll bring the awesome.

I heard

he couldn't keep his raspberry souffle from falling.

He is the Cuban Missile

You know with a nickname like that he can bring the heat

by hitlesswonder on Mar 27, 2008 2:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yes, but

Masset can maintain this level of performance for multiple innings, unlike Wasserman....

Sox roster: Anderson, Quentin in

"Brian Anderson and Carlos Quentin were informed that they made the White Sox's Opening Day roster. The final decision on a reliever will be made Saturday in Memphis. "

We have to hope

that they keep delaying what seems like an obvious decision because Kenny hopes he can get something in return for Masset.

Did I just hear DJ say:

Swisher is a guy that can fill any hole?

Oooooh boy.

I'll bring the awesome.

by Hazymania on Mar 27, 2008 2:36 PM CDT   0 recs

D.J. is dirty like that -- he loves the double entendre...

probably as much as he loves a DP (and I don't mean double play). ; )

by SSH2005 on Mar 27, 2008 3:03 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

It wasn't great

but they blew a bunch of games late. They were winning almost every game after the starters were pulled.

AIM: SouthSideCheat

by The Cheat on Mar 27, 2008 2:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

The reason I ask

I heard DJ say something like: It's been a long time since a team with a losing ST record won it all. Made me wonder.

I'll bring the awesome.

by Hazymania on Mar 27, 2008 2:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Pauly hit a homer run

and is now in the booth with Hawk and DJ. Micah took over at 1B, and made a boneheaded play on his first opportunity.

they're just trying to approximate

what a "real" sox pitcher will face in the regular season. you know, an error every third inning or so.

Wow - a solo HR... glad we don't that much here

Sox have 7 errors in last 7 innings.

Pitching and Defense.

Was that a ground out to 2nd for Owens?

Welcome to the blog of negativity.

Masset could still be a good pitcher... I doubt it, but he did look good against the Cubs last year. Anderson is going to be the starting CF to start the season?

by Where Triples Go to Die on Mar 27, 2008 3:24 PM CDT   0 recs

no Swish

by gamara21 on Mar 27, 2008 3:26 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Can you explain why one outing against the Cubs

should weigh more heavily than

  • the rest of Masset's terrible season
  • Masset's poor-to-mediocre minor league record
  • or Masset's terrible spring

    thank you

    masset is dog crap. hes at best a AAA filler for us and needs to be set free. whats the deal with crede and all of these errors??

    12/12/07- We'll miss you Andy Gonzalez

    by The Deacon on Mar 27, 2008 3:29 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

    Sure

    I said I doubt he could still be a good pitcher.

    by Where Triples Go to Die on Mar 27, 2008 3:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

    what about

    a bunch of crappy relief appearances, does that make a pitcher?

    WTF

    MASSET IS GARBAGE. HE HAD 1 GOOD START AGAINST THE CUBS. THAT IS ALL I SAID!

    by Where Triples Go to Die on Mar 27, 2008 3:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

    I will say

    even though it's ST the sox have looked like they have a flare for the dramatic. Hopefully this continues into the season. Boy what a DP started by Ramirez. Great job Kenny on getting Ramirez!

    i was joking

    hence the hahah...making reference to the last time this was posted and others jumped on how you thought he was a good pitcher. ill put in teal next time to be more clear.

    but, why re-post it?

    by The Scoper on Mar 27, 2008 3:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

    I thought you were joking

    but I don't know what your old sss name was... and we have a guy asking who Ramirez is...

    by Where Triples Go to Die on Mar 27, 2008 3:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

    You know that...

    Ramirez isn't playing today, right?

    by The Jerry Royster Experience on Mar 27, 2008 3:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

    Ramirez...

    According to the box, Ramirez is not in the game and did not start any double plays, uh, because he isn't (or wasn't yet at least) in the game. Can anybody confirm other than WTGTD?

    "This has been a very long campaign so, occasionally I am a human being like everybody else. Last week for the first time in 12 or so years, I misspoke."

    Hahahaha.

    This made me realize that I've had the game on tv for the past hour but haven't paid any attention since I turned it on. We'll see after the commercial break.

    Out-underacheiving the other guy.

    by defensive indifference on Mar 27, 2008 4:08 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

    Yeah, he just batted.

    It said he was at SS and that he didn't get a hit his first time up in the 6th, so I'm guessing he did start a double play too.
